Date: Wednesday, September 20, 2023
Weather: Another Drop Dead Beautiful Day; High 69, Low 54 degrees F
Location: At Home on Lakeview Avenue, Falmouth, MA
The first General Meeting of Encore was today and it was my turn to run the business meeting. I spent my morning preparing for that and then went to The Flying Bridge for the luncheon meeting. It was a beautiful day, and The Flying Bridge was a perfect place for lunch. It is located on Falmouth Harbor, so we all enjoyed the water view as we conducted business and then had a wonderful lunch. It was after 2:30 pm when I got home, so I took Shadow out, changed clothes into something a little more comfortable, and headed to the first Public Policy meeting of the year. The question we addressed was: What is the state of childcare in Massachusetts and in Falmouth in particular? This also included a discussion of foster care. I left the meeting early to go pick up Ollie and take him to saxophone lesson. When I got home around 6 pm, I took Shadow out to play fetch and then I came in and crashed. It was a good day, but a long one.
As I have written before, Christina Brodie and I share the role of co-presidents of Encore. Olivia White took a photo of us today that really captures the essence of how we work together. I am sharing that photo here.
PS … Shadow’s fourth birthday was today, but Ollie has talked me into celebrating his birthday on the 21st instead of the 20th because both Sam and Ollie were born on the 21st day of the month, one in January, the other in March. Ollie comes over after school tomorrow and we will celebrate then.
